(B) is 100% supported by the statements of the human resources director.To see how, let's breakdown the stimulus first.
(1) Only SOME recent university graduates consider work environment an important factor in choosing a job
RUG-some-WEIF
WEIF-some-RUG
(2) They ALL consider salary an important factor
RUG ==> SIF
not SIF ==> not RUG
(3) The only workers who consider stress level an important factor in choosing a job are a FEW veteran employees
VE-some-SLIF
SLIF-some-VE
(4) EVERY recent university graduate considers vacation policy an important factor
RUG ==> VPIF
not VPIF ==> not RUG
We can conclude "at least some of the people who consider work environment an important factor consider salary an important factor" (i.e. WEIF-some-SIF) by combining (1) & (2) as follows:
WEIF-some-RUG ==> SIF
We can conclude "at least some of the people who consider work environment an important factor consider vacation policy an important factor" (i.e. WEIF-some-VPIF) by combining (1) & (4) as follows:
WEIF-some-RUG ==> VPIF
(B) states, "At least some of the people who consider work environment an important factor in choosing a job consider salary an important factor as well."
This is the deduction we made by combining (1) & (4), so (B) must be true and (B) would be the correct answer.
Hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
